De senaste testresultaten är klara – och de är god läsning för alla som väljer en CTEK-batteriladdare.

De mycket kunniga experterna på Parkers, en av Storbritanniens största webbplatser för bilrecensioner och rådgivning, har testat en mängd batteriladdare och har nu släppt sina resultat.

Deras bedömning är att den bästa är CTEK MXS 5.0 – och CTEK-laddare tog tre av de fyra främsta platserna.

MXS 5.0 vann utmärkelsen Editor’s Pick, guldmedaljen i testerna, och experterna beskrev den som ”en av de bästa batteriladdarna och underhållsladdarna som kostar under 100 pund”.

Parkers-teamet fann MXS 5.0 ”lätt att använda” och ”tryggt enkel att övervaka också”. Den testades på en klassisk Mercedes, där batteriet hölls laddat så att motorn kunde startas varannan vecka utan problem.

På vinnarpodiet fanns också CTEK:s MXS 7.0, som vann Bästa specificerade underhållsladdare. Parkers sade: ”Den har fortfarande all den smarta teknik som 5.0 har, men i ett större, något mer omfattande paket som passar batterier i större bilar, husvagnar, husbilar och till och med båtar.”

Recensionen berömde den enkla navigeringen mellan lägen och sade: ”Den är byggd enligt samma standard med förstklassiga material, precis som hela CTEK:s sortiment, kan hantera extrema temperaturer i båda ändar och laddar AGM-batterier.”

Vår duktiga allroundprodukt, den bärbara CS FREE, kom också med på topplistan som Bästa solcellsdrivna underhållsladdare. CS FREE, sade Parkers, ”är den mest unika i vår guide och är ett stort steg upp i förmågor, och erbjuder fyra huvudfunktioner i denna enda bärbara enhet”.

I kombination med en solpanel erbjuder CS FREE verkligen batteriladdning och underhåll utanför elnätet och fungerar till och med som en adaptiv booster för att återuppliva ett urladdat batteri. Den kan också användas som en powerbank för dina enheter som telefoner och bärbara datorer.

Parkers expertgranskare testade CS FREE på ett helt urladdat batteri i en Audi 80 från 1980-talet. Efter 15 minuter kunde bilen startas. Granskaren skrev: ”Jag var imponerad av CS FREE:s prestanda i detta scenario och skulle till 100 % förlita mig på den för att ge liv tillbaka till ett dött batteri i vilken bil som helst, gammal som ny.”

Parkers började för över 50 år sedan som en guide till begagnade bilpriser och tillhandahåller nu hundratusentals värderingar till allmänheten varje månad, tillsammans med recensioner av nya och begagnade bilar och produkterna för att hålla dem på vägen.

Så vi är mycket glada att en så betrodd och oberoende organisation älskar våra batteriladdare. Vi är så stolta över våra produkter och älskar när andra också gillar dem.

CTEK becomes EV charging partner to the Swedish Ski Association

CTEK has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association, providing CC3 EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, the charging solutions will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches, staff and the wider organisation. Falun, Sweden – CTEK, a global leader in battery charging and electric vehicle charging, has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association to provide EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Under the agreement, CTEK is providing charging solutions from its CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) product family. The project is being delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, which is carrying out the installations at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. The chargers will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches and staff, as well as other electric vehicles operated by the Swedish Ski Association. They will provide reliable and convenient charging when vehicles are at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena or the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office, supporting the Association’s continued transition towards more sustainable transport. For the Swedish Ski Association, the drive to constantly improve goes beyond athletic performance. The Association believes it is equally important to keep improving the smart, climate-friendly solutions that support its everyday operations. “We are delighted to work with the Swedish Ski Association as its EV charging partner. Elite sport depends not only on what happens on the track or slopes, but also on the people, vehicles and infrastructure working behind the scenes. By providing our CC3 charging technology and working alongside Kalema e-Mobility, we can help support the Association’s everyday operations and its transition towards more electrified transport,” said Johanna Mogren Sundqvist, Sales Manager EVSE at CTEK. Developed in Sweden for professional EV charging, CC3 can be adapted to different organisations, vehicle requirements and parking environments. The EV chargers can provide up to 22 kW per outlet and support connectivity and load balancing. This allows the available electrical capacity to be used efficiently while enabling the charging infrastructure to expand as the Swedish Ski Association’s requirements grow. "For us, this investment is about creating the conditions for a smarter and more sustainable operation. Our athletes, coaches and staff travel extensively throughout the year, and reliable charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday operations. CTEK combines proven technology with strong local roots in Dalarna, making them a natural supplier as we continue to develop our organisation and reduce the environmental impact of our transport solutions," said Johan Gräfnings, Swedish Ski Association. The agreement connects CTEK’s home in Falun, Dalarna, with the Swedish Ski Association’s activities at Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and its Åre office in Jämtland. For CTEK, it is an opportunity to support the Swedish Ski Association and its national teams with technology that makes a practical difference behind the scenes. The collaboration will also give CTEK agreed brand visibility across the Swedish Ski Association’s activities.

Why Every Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Still Depends on a 12V Battery

Charging a hybrid car battery is not only about the high-voltage drive battery. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles also use a separate 12V battery to power essential systems and enable the vehicle to start its electronic control sequence. If that battery is flat, the vehicle may not enter its ready-to-drive mode.
